In an interesting anomaly of events, wifey is cleaning the garden while I enjoy an adult beverage. (Just to be clear, she does a lot around the house, but outdoor, manual labour is not one of her go-to pastimes.)

Cursing AT&T till a fly won’t land on them. Friday afternoon they upgraded my service to fiber. That included a new tower. First my phone wouldn’t work then hours later my iMac couldn’t pick up WiFi.

With restrictions easing I was finally able to cook ribs for Child B, the male one, and his wife yesterday.  Once again following @Stormbringer 'Cooks Digest' guide.
Plus some sticky spicy chicken thighs and a few chicken & chorizo skewers. 






Three hours in...




7 hours and 93C internal temp - off for a double wrapped rest for 45 minutes.


Out of the foil and on to the plate.




Money shot

@CPFC1905 nice looking ribs! I braised ours yesterday over cherry and served with a red wine and port reduction. Recipe will be on the blog this week .. and pics here for @lousubcap.

Rainy day over here, so we just took a walk with the family before it started and are now having a “cleaning party” - loud music, cleaning (even the kids) and exceptionally, Caesars for the adults. Trying to get at least a little fun in before I have to work this afternoon.

Beauty. Great colour there! The “u” was for you, but also for me. 🙂

Lunch break with leftover pizza. A little spice for the win.

@CPFC1905 Those are some great looking ribs. I have trouble finding that quality near me. They looking beautifully cooked as well. I’m sure it feels good to spend time with your family - a good day all around.

A “little spice” eh?  I believe that’s the hot sauce that tends to pack the biggest punch on that hot wings show.  Do you use that stuff a lot?

Thanks.  
I was recommended this butcher by another serious BBQ-er.  This is the second time I have got ribs from them and they are by far the best.  I got two ribs, halved - £17

Each time I go there I spend longer in the shop.  The staff are all outdoor cooking enthusiasts so we share pictures, recipes etc.

Next up will be the Porkahawk.   They butcher pigs on site and will prepare pork chops to order leaving a much longer bone (Tomahawk style), leaving the belly meat, fat and skin to be enjoyed as well.   But I have a cooking course booked for June and requested a focus on pork, so might have to delay until after that.

I have been a big hot sauce guy for years. This past year, my wife got me a Hot Ones sauce pack including a lot of the sauces used by the show - some relatively mild and some on the wilder side. I had had Da Bomb before, but never used it on the regular. Through habituation, it has become my daily dipper. I am really looking forward to opening the Last Dab sauce, as it carries a much higher scoville rating than Da Bomb. This being said, as you note, Da Bomb seems to be the one that gives guests on Sean’s show the most trouble. I can report back with a comparison if ever you’re interested. Are you a spice guy, John?

Had recently seen this episode for the first time. It is worth a watch.

Was it you who picked up the electric VW? If so, how are you liking it and how long to charge fully?

Doing a farewell dinner party at our crib for a neighbor.  Cooking, cleaning.  It's potluck but I baked cookies last night and made pizza balls.  SWMBO is doing a bunch of stuff...egg rolls, an Indian potato salad, some corn salsa...the first two vegan and one egg roll batch with pork. I'm the fry master (chef).

How long does it take for a charge and how many miles can you get out of it?

Yes it was and I like it pretty well. So far I have only charged it at Electrify America. From 5%to 80% state of charge about 38 minutes. From a home 240 V charger about 8 or 9 hours. One nit to pick so far, the temperature and volume sliders aren’t illuminated at night though I can handle the volume with a toggle on the steering wheel.

If you were to charge it to 100% 230 on the highway or 279 in town but I limit charging to 80% somewhere from 200 to 219 miles depending on a lot of factors. Charging time listed in post above.

I appreciate spicy foods, yeah, but I suspect that stuff would be much more heat than I’d care to use on the regular.

I stopped over at my friend's this afternoon and was given a hot sauce his wife had purchased for him. He tried it and said it was way too for his liking. I'll be giving it a try one of these nights with tacos or on some eggs.

You’d be surprised what you can get used to if used on the regular. It’s really just a matter of knowing what to expect, I think. I feel like @lousubcap’s Zoom sessions would be a good forum for some hot sauce tomfoolery.
